So let me give you an example that people can probably relate to homework and test taking. So I had a client a couple weeks ago who had a test on a Friday, and one of the parents was a high fact finder. This particular child was the same Colby as I am, which is very interesting. And on Monday, kept getting on this child, you have to study, you have to study, you have to study. And meanwhile, the child just wanted to study on Thursday night would have been fine. And then said, last time you took the test, you got to see. Well, yeah, last time the child used your way and your way didn't necessarily work. So we said, let's take a risk, which was interesting for a fact finding follow through. I know it's hard, but let's try to listen to the child. And they ended up passing the test. Of course they passed the test. They did it their way. They had the freedom to be themselves.
